It's kinda like a Power Trac, but the attachments are difficult to change and have to be modified to fit the tractor, or you have to modify the tractor, or you let them sit and you growl when you see the useless attachment. Also the attachments are all on the wrong end of the tractor and hard to watch when you are actually using them. It's a pretty obsolete device, but surprisingly still sold to some people for some reason.

A little off topic speaking of attachments wondering if anyone has ever heard of or made a landscape rake using wood for the head. I bought 40 heavy duty tines from ASC. I'm thinking of attaching them by drilling the holes into a wooden head 2x6 with a metal strip across the top for added support.

I would piece the rest together using hitch tubing and a hitch receiver. The idea being I can plug it into a hitch I bolt to the front bucket and also use it on the back. I could use it with an extension on the front to reach leaves in between trees in the woods and attach it to the back for pulling or grading heavier debris.

Yep, putting on four new 21.7ci CharLynn S series (with HD seals and low-speed valving). There's some grinding needed to get them to go back into the frame/tub far enough to slide them in. They're round, not rectangular, and their diameter is 3/8" more than the current motors width...

Should give me roughly twice the torque (i.e. power) and slightly more than half the speed of the White RS wheel motors currently on it...

OK. I remember now. The alzheimer's comes and gos. Do you have to change the bolt holes also?

Nope. Other than grinding the tub some, they should bolt right in -- or at least that's "the plan"...
